Description
“Butterfly” is a single-pitch sport route of 40 m, among the most graceful lines in the Tower sector.
The route follows a vertical slab with small holds and dynamic moves, typical of the area’s compact limestone.
Difficulty reaches 7a, with delicate balance moves in the middle section and a smooth finish toward the anchor.
It is equipped with 12 bolts, a belay anchor, and a lower-off ring.
The rock quality is superb, offering continuous, flowing movement on solid surfaces — a climb that blends technical precision, aesthetic flow, and stunning views over the gulf.
